Kids are awesome.

The wife is 7 months pregnant with our first. Thanks for the reassurance. 

i have a quick story for you; i live near Detroit ( i know, i know). a couple years ago, i helped a friend sell on Craigslist a 1980 Suzuki 1100 gs with 6k miles on it. it had a clear plastic fairing on it. i had sat in his shed since 1995. looked perfect. we were not going to buy a battery to start it, and since it…

A 350Z and a crossover are opposite poles. What about a normal height car? Nothing wrong with that, especially considering there is actually not a whole lot differentiating a small crossover and a car it is based on except a couple of inches of lift.

Perhaps it’s time to face the reality that although you’re trolling a car enthusiast website, you and your wife are not really enthusiasts. I’ve daily driven everything, Alfa Spiders and Lotus Elises 2 inches off the ground, and I never once thought to myself that getting in / out of these cars is a chore. Quite the…

Speak for yourself. I have always driven a car, and always will as long as I can find one. Because I enjoy driving, not wafting around on stilts as I get fatter and more crippled.

Oh, didn’t know that was going to be a Q&A.

Having sold Toyotas for a number of years it would not be unheard of for an Avalon owner having their car towed due to a bad battery.

The $600 includes 8 used but good spec battery cells/modules ($200) and the battery balancer ($380).

the 3400 ate head gaskets, as well as Ford’s 3800. Not the GM 3800.

You had me at your Baile Atha Cliath license plate. A Beamish on you.

2001 Buick LeSabre with just 74,000 miles on a GM 3800 V6 engine.

And he’s probably loaddeeedddd, because he isn’t throwing tons of money away on a big ass car payment every month.

And every pick-ur-part yard near you will have at least three to harvest parts from. I’m pretty sure that’s a federal requirement.

You have the correct answer. The Buick LeSabres with the 3800 are abundant in the sub-$2000 range. It’s comfortable, good on gas, durable, and much more roomy than the ever popular Crown Vic. Is it as fun? No. But it’s absolutely the better car. (ebay Link) No one needs to settle for a Corolla.

When you need something reliable, you get a Civic. What’s more reliable than a Civic?

1989 Toyota HiLux with the nearly bomb-proof 22R engine, BIN price of $1550

This listing is punctuated correctly. That alone should command a couple hundred dollar premium.

This isn't even a contest. The '86 is hands-down the car to have!
